Don't give up the day job Wayne.

Over the years, plenty of professional footballers have fancied themselves as singers and have never been afraid to get behind the mic. Hoddle and Waddle, John Barnes and our own Robbie Keane are famous examples, while Wayne Rooney's not averse to breaking into a tune or two of a night out; it must be the Irish in him. Rooney, of course, is good pals with Ed Sheeran and the pair got together on stage for their most recent duet in a New York bar over the weekend, choosing Robbie Williams' 'Angels' as their song of choice while the rest of the bar sang along. No offence to Wayne, but we've heard better versions of the song sang at an Irish house party at 5am of a Sunday morning; good job he's got the whole football thing to keep the pennies flowing into the bank account. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJnrj71Eu78 Clip via YouTube/Beanyman Sports
